Ingredient List

Preparation

1.
First, gather your two ingredients. After you wash and dry the bell peppers, place each of them in a foil tray. The foil will make clean-up easy. Rub olive oil all over them to ensure they do not burn.
Each bell pepper has a slightly different aroma and taste, so make sure you know which one you want. For instance, green bell peppers are slightly more bitter, aromatic, and spicier than the other colors, which are sweeter.

2.
Then set your oven to boil and place them on a tray about 7 inches away from the broiler. They will likely charr on one side within just 5 minutes. Once they have charred, rotate them so they charr on the other side.

When they are done, place them in a zip lock bag while they are still hot, and close the bag until they cool down for about 10 minutes. This will make the skin easily peelable. Just use a fork!

After peeling the roasted peppers, I like to cut the top off, remove the seeds, slice them into large strips, and keep them in a glass jar with olive oil. Now they are ready to be used!

Why Should You Peel Charred Bell Peppers?
Although you can technically leave the skin on, it will be burnt and produce a bitter flavor. When peeling the skin, you can still get that desired smoky flavor without ingesting burnt skin. The skin is very easy to peel, so it won’t take much additional effort to peel the skin before finishing the preparations.
